@sargoth For media, yes. Internet and mobile phones did change things quite a bit though.
Remember riding your bike to the local library to find books for your writing project for school, then getting a parent to copy the images from it on the photocopier at their work so you could paste them alongside your handwritten text?
Remember calling someone (bonus points for a rotary phone dial) only to find that they'd gone out for some errand and would be completely unreachable for hours?
